Can anyone recall what the G-force was that caused the cabin lights to turn on after a "hard landing"?

Cabin Lights
Is that what it was? I always thought it was faulty Boeing/Vertol frog-wiring.......happened to me all the time!

Hard Landing Lights
Moon flew my aircraft quite a few times and I can definetly confirm that the wiring in my aircraft was JUST FINE, but those lights still came on...Hmmmm...curious, no?

Hey Jake,
You needed to tighten that loose nut in the cabin -- Smile

I remember those lights coming on too, but I forget how you turned them out. Maybe Fogg himself had to turn them out after a little a$$ chewing! How are you doing Jake?

Hard Landing
It seems, I'm not alone, my brother Sam seems to remember how "loose" that hard landing lights switch was on some flights.
Moon, thanks - considering the alternative, I am truly glad to be here!!! I am still recuperating in Miami but thanks to the internet, I am fully back to work, connected to the Corporate HQ in El Paso, TX.
Hmmmm, El Paso or Miami, El Paso or Miami - tough choice - NOT!!
